    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although most of the Hebrew spoken or sung was in Ashkenazic (shabbos, not Shabbat), the rabbi said one of the prayers in Sephardic (ah-doe-nigh, not ah-doe-noy).
    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits we see the Yankles riding the bus, lip-synching the song Sweeter Than Kosher Wine (by Zev Brooks).
    • Connections
      References Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

    An Homage to A League of their own...
    But with orthodox Jewish men studying to be Rabbi's. If you liked a league of their own for more than the sexy Geena Davis then you will like this. I mean who doesn't need "kosher cuss words" in their life.
